LINK IN BIO Sophomore year in high school my teacher, Jerome, asked me what were my political stances. I had no idea. Like none. It was part of a greater project and, essentially, I had to decide if I was a liberal or conservative. If you follow my blog, you know I don’t watch the news. But, interestingly, even at the time I felt it was a nonsense project. Why would I have to force myself to take sides? Honestly, it didn’t make much sense. While I don’t remember the specifics, I do know that I was heavily against the death penalty and was attending a school in Northern California or liberal territory. So, I probably returned saying I identified with mostly liberals views. Even though I felt the specific project was nonsense, the act of thinking was the most important part. Giving conscious thought to my life was the important part I started writing this blog post on January 3, 2019, over a year ago. The following 11 personal commandments are my deepest values. They’re the things that I truly believe in. They’re not fads, they don’t change (easily). Tell me yours in the comments or share your disagreements. I thought it was a fun exercise. I believe this is an exercise that everyone should do for laser focus in life. It helps you avoid what's not important and pursue what is. With so much noise in our world, we may be able to live an entire life without truly knowing who we are. It’s part of a recent and ongoing process in getting to know myself no matter how uncomfortable it might be. #creatorcolumn #lifevalues #minimalist #healthnumber1 #embarrassment #commandments #timeasset #universalenergy #sumoffriends #booksarepower #experiences #consumerism #materialism #lifegoals #personalcommandments #dontwatchnews #bellarmine #consciousness #lifestyle #lifechanging #nevergiveup #lifestyleblogger #positivevibes #successtips #letsflowtogether #quantumlife #personalgrowthjourney #raisingconsciousness #creativewriter #fridaymotivation (at Ubud, Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8q377JerJ/?igshid=hudli1cjpw8
